Mitosis is a process by which 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells, those 2 cells divide and become 4 cells, and so on. Write an e

quation for the nth term of the geometric sequence giving the numbers of cells at each stage of this process, where a1=1. Then find a10.

Answer:

An equation for the nth term is aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

and a₁₀ = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells, those 2 cells divide and become 4 cells, and so on

∴The sequence will be

1,2,4, ..., n

From the formula

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

Where aₙ is the nth term

a₁ is the first term

n is the number of terms

and r is the common ratio

From the sequence,

a₁ = 1,

r = a₂/a₁ = 2/1 = 2

∴ The nth term (aₙ) will be

aₙ = (1)(2)ⁿ⁻¹

aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

Hence, an equation for the nth term is aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

To find a₁₀, substitute n= 10 into the equation

aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

Then

a₁₀ = 2¹⁰ ⁻ ¹

a₁₀ = 2⁹

a₁₀ = 512

∴ a₁₀ = 512

Probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant) is  \frac{13}{30} and Probability (neem plant or peepal plant) is  \frac{29}{60}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of neem plant = 125

Number of peepal plant = 165

Number of creppers plant = 50

Number of fruit plant = 150

Number of flowering plant = 110

To find the probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant)

and probability ( neem or peepal)

Formula

P( A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant) = \frac{110}{600} + \frac{150}{600}

= \frac{260}{600} = \frac{13}{30}

And,

Probability (neem plant or peepal plant) = \frac{125}{600} +\frac{165}{600}

= \frac{290}{600} = \frac{29}{60}

A painter charges $35 per hour for labor plus $40 for a ladder rental when he paints a house. The customer provides the paint. T
zhenek [66]


the answer is not there.  first you take 950.00 and back out (subtract) the 40 dollar fee for a ladder rental which leaves 910.00  then divide the 910 by 35/hr and you get 26 hrs.

Constantine picks two letters at random from the word constantinople with replacement. what is the probability that both letters
dedylja [7]
Constantinople  has a total of 14 letters of which 9 are consonants

P(picking a consonant) = 9/14

P(2 letters are consonants with replacement) = 9/14 * 9/14 = 81/196
